One in Adelphi, Maryland, one in Wildwood, Florida, one at the US National Arboretum with a grandfatherly interest in many more around the DC area (unless noted, pictures are taken the day of post)

It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it!

GrayC is catalog shopping for plants....and getting paid for it; it's part of her job. Actually many of us do a bit of this but because of the nature of her garden (the Herb Garden) she spends more time at it than most of us. The happy look on her face is because she's showing Michael Penstemon 'Iron Maiden', a plant named after her favorite band.

About Me

I am the horticulturist for the Asian Collections at the US National Arboretum. Before entering public horticulture, I designed garden locally. Karen and I garden at our houses in Adelphi, Maryland and Wildwood, Florida. I'm nearing retirement and adjusting to the idea of leaving my gardens in Adelphi and at the Arboretum.
